This stuff will flat make you sleep and leaves no hangover. I take a shot of it once or twice a month at home- no crazy buzz, just makes you really drowsy. I sleep a full 8 hours when I take it. Have had several other people try it since I started and same effect for everyone I am aware of. A bottle lasts me many months since you only take one shot. https://soberish.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop_5WWXTvMoeRjk_3GFyGg0mo-tvks-O-appY6g5zJd7M8PuAgR

I was about to make a somewhat similar post. I have a hunt scheduled later this year and on the way home have a 19 hour overnight layover and a 10 hour overnight layover. I was thinking about taking by backpacking sleep pad with me and inflating it in a corner of the airport to try to get some sleep along with noise canceling ear buds and eye mask . Anyone try that before? Last time I tried to just sleep in the airport chairs and also on the hard floor and that ended in a long trip with no sleep. thinking the pad would help some

I always put a sleeping pad in my carry-on. And pillow.

I have recently took a new role within my company that now has a significant amount of air travel domestic and international compared to old role. Do you all prefer roller carry on or bigger backpacks? I have been a roller guy for my previous travels but what's your go to? Also looking for one pair of shoes for semi casual business that I can workout/run in while traveling and recommendations. Thanks for your input.

Backpack and duffel with backpack straps. I hate wheeled luggage.

That said I like to walk. 2-3 miles and I'm walking it. A couple miles on sidewalks with wheeled luggage sucks.

I carry one backpack, one roller/duffle/carry-on style. Watch Youtube for 'how to pack' and you will amazed at how much you can fit. For shoes, look at Johston/Murpy and even Sketchers for a hybrid style shoe. Also, invest in a solid 'filtered water bottle' for international travel, I wont leave home w/out one.

If I'm carrying extra shoes or boots, I'll cram them full of my spare socks and undies. If you tightly roll up your clothes, you can fit a lot more in.

We take slightly different approaches... But a 65L bag and my backpack are all I need for any trip.

Separate Pelican for rifle/tools if either is needed. I pretty much always strap a rod tube to the duffle.

I use a foldable luggage cart to put wheels under my non-wheeled carry on bags. I can fit the gear I need for a week-long work trip in my Filson medium duffel + computer bag, but they get pretty heavy crammed that full. I strap both bags on the cart and wheel them through the airport then split them up at the gate and stash the cart inside the duffel bag before boarding. The cart is a bit on the flimsy side, but it does its job and beats lugging two shoulder bags through the airport.
